Extraordinary Era

After returning from school, Sun Chen returned to the apartment he rented near the school.

This is a large single room, very spacious, with a washing machine, air conditioner, desk, water heater and other furniture, as well as a large bed, which is enough for him to live alone.

It's just that the rent is a bit expensive. The rent is 2,500 yuan a month. Fortunately, the water and electricity bills are cheap. The rent is less than 3,000 yuan a month. This is considered cheap for housing in the school district in 2041.

By 2041, human science and technology has overcome one difficulty after another and developed very rapidly. Many convenient, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly technologies have emerged like a spurt.

Take energy as an example. By 2041, humans will be able to make good use of solar energy and convert solar energy into other energy sources at a conversion rate of 90%. This will eliminate the need for humans to burn coal, let alone build nuclear power plants.

Today's mobile phones can be placed in a place with light when they are out of power, and the mobile phone will automatically convert the light energy into electrical energy.

However, if you are playing with your phone in extreme darkness, you still have to rely on a charger to charge it when it runs out of power.

Nowadays, artificial intelligence has gradually matured, replacing many dangerous positions for humans. Autonomous driving of cars has been fully realized, and traveling to space is no longer a luxury.

Of course, these all require money. If you don’t have money, you can only play on the ground. Now the rich people are in heaven.

Therefore, Sun Chen's monthly electricity bill is only more than ten yuan, because electricity costs less than fifty cents per unit, which is cheaper than water bills.

After washing up, Sun Chen was shirtless, and his body was full of muscles. Even his abdominal muscles had eight packs. The lines were so perfect that women would scream when they saw him.

"Close the curtains and turn off the lights." Sun Chen said lightly.

At this time, the originally transparent glass quickly turned gray, the curtains closed automatically, and the lights in the room went out.

In this era, almost every household is equipped with a smart home system, which can comfortably serve human life and is very convenient.

After the light in the room dimmed, Sun Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, which was what he had done every day for two years.

Time passed unknowingly, and soon, the alarm on his cell phone rang. Sun Chen slowly woke up, knowing that the time he set had arrived.

Sun Chen looked down and saw that it happened to be half past ten at night.

So, he turned off the alarm, hurriedly put on his clothes and shoes, and went out in the dark.

"The last bus on Route 13, don't let me down!" Sun Chen looked forward to it.

After transferring to No. 8 Middle School in Rong District, Sun Chen heard many people in his class discussing the supernatural incident on the last bus of No. 13.

I heard from them that in the past two months, people taking the No. 13 bus in the middle of the night have encountered unclean things, which are very scary. They dare not sleep after returning home. Whenever they fall asleep, they will have nightmares.

In the dream, his body was torn apart by countless blood-stained hands and divided into many bloody pieces. He was frightened to wake up.

Sun Chen judged that this was definitely not groundless, it should be true, so he planned to come and see for himself, maybe there would be unexpected gains.

"coming!"

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the bus stop was empty except for Sun Chen. After waiting for more than ten minutes, the white bus No. 13 finally arrived.

There was no one on the bus, not even the driver.

In this era of technology, drivers can remotely control the bus through a simulator at home without having to drive it themselves.

Of course, this is only at night. During the day, the bus driver still has to come to the bus and take control.

Since the supernatural incident came out, the number of people taking this bus at night has gradually decreased until it is now empty. Everyone is frightened by the legendary things.

Today's vehicles no longer need wheels. Humans have conquered anti-gravity technology and applied this technology to vehicles, improving transportation efficiency.

However, anti-gravity technology cannot be abused. Human beings have stipulated the height between the vehicle and the ground, and the vehicle cannot be allowed to fly, otherwise it will easily cause various air accidents.

The bus was floating on the ground, with no one on it. When it slowly drove over, it looked like an eerie ghost bus, as if something invisible was controlling it.

With a "pop" sound, the door opened normally, and Sun Chen got on the bus normally. There was an automatic face-scanning system on the bus, and he immediately received a text message about the deduction on his phone.

Sun Chen came to the middle of the carriage and sat down. After the bus detected that there was no one else, it closed the door and moved forward slowly.

Because it is an anti-gravity suspension vehicle, the vehicle does not feel the slightest vibration when driving, but it still feels forward momentum.

Sun Chen didn't have any panic or fear after getting in the car. He took out his mobile phone and started to watch what was going on in the class.

Monitor Yan Penghua: "@Mo秀where are you? Have you gone home?"

Study committee member Li Chunxi: "Qinhua speaks directly, but she does make sense. Don't be too sad. You can be good friends in the future @Mo秀!"

Wang Shuiliang: "@Moxiuqinhua, the big beauty, doesn't like you. Isn't there @罗兰小美, Luo Lan, come out and comfort your Moxiu brother!"

Luo Lan: "@王水梁 Die! Don't mess around with me, or I'll chop you up tomorrow!"

Song Jingde: "@Mo秀出, the beautiful Qinhua posted on Moments again. You are usually the first to like and comment. Why didn't I see it today? You won't give up just because of a little setback, right? Haha!"

Shu Rong: "Mo Xiu can't bear the blow and can't think about it anymore? @王沁婷 Go and comfort him!"

Wang Qinhua: “I can’t contact you, maybe I fell asleep.”

Study committee member Li Chunxi: "Look for Mo Xiu's deskmate @Sun Chen, he may know where Mo Xiu is."

Song Jingde: "Don't mention him. He hasn't been around since he joined our class. Maybe he thinks we are annoying and has blocked us!"

Squad leader Yan Penghua: "@ Sun Chen is there?"

…

After reading the news in the class group, Sun Chen also turned off his phone.

Seeing someone @ himself, Sun Chen had no intention of replying to the message, because he was not familiar with him in real life, and no one would respond when he spoke in the group, so it was better to remain silent.

As for the situation of his deskmate Mo Xiu, it is not Sun Chen's turn to care about it. Mo Xiu is an optimistic person. The shock of failing to express his love should not be to the extent that he is looking for life and death. Sun Chen is now more concerned about the last bus on Route 13. things.

After another ten minutes, the bus finally stopped.

Bus No. 13 takes the outer ring road and has fewer stops. If there is no traffic jam, it will only take ten minutes to reach a bus stop. For longer buses, it only takes half an hour.

The bus stopped and the lights inside the bus came on. Sun Chen also put away his phone and looked outside at the bus stop.

Sun Chen saw many people waiting on the platform. After seeing the bus stop, they crowded onto the bus.

There were old people, children, women, and young people. They seemed very harmonious. They were chatting and laughing among themselves, but fell silent when they got in the car.

Soon, the entire carriage was packed, and there were seats for the elderly and children. Whether they were sitting or standing, everyone had expressionless faces, as if they were thinking about something.

With a "pop" sound, the door closed and the bus moved forward again. At this time, the lights in the car went out.

The lights in the car were turned off, but the street lights on the outer ring road could still shine into the car. At this time, Sun Chen saw that those people had changed.

The pale faces showed eerie smiles. Everyone looked towards Sun Chen, their eyes glowing green, staring at Sun Chen.

Sun Chen looked carefully and saw that the clothes of these people had also changed.

There are old men with long hair and ancient costumes, soldiers with braids and blood-stained robes and mandarin jackets, women with disheveled hair in Republican robes, and young men with short hair and modern clothes.

They slowly approached Sun Chen, and their pale faces approached Sun Chen.

Sun Chen looked down and found that these people had no legs and were suspended on the ground like a hover car.

"If these things are seen by others, I'm afraid I will die suddenly on the spot!" Looking at these dirty things in front of him, Sun Chen felt no emotion in his heart, and even wanted to laugh.

If he had seen these dirty things two years ago, he would have fainted and died on the spot.

But after experiencing the accident two years ago, Sun Chen was not only not afraid of these dirty things, but also had an "appetite" for them.

"Hello everyone!"

Looking up, Sun Chen smiled shyly, with excitement in his eyes, and greeted these "people" politely.

Seeing Sun Chen greeting them, they smiled even more weirdly, grinning from the corners of their mouths to their ears, revealing bright red bloody mouths. Some stuck out long tongues, some even had no tongues, and then stretched out their bloody and pale hands. , and grabbed Sun Chen.

"Death is like a lamp going out. This world is the world of the living after all. Although you may have been wronged and died unjustly during your lifetime, you remain in the world with resentment and harm the living. This is your fault. Today's prosperous age , you are not allowed to come out and harm others."

"So, for the sake of a safe and healthy life for mankind, come to my eyes quickly!"

After saying that, Sun Chen's eyes instantly turned blood red, and the middle pupil formed a vortex.

When the whirlpool appeared, all the "people" in the carriage became distorted. They no longer smiled and began to panic.

Their bodies were torn apart by the power emanating from the whirlpool pupils, turning into wisps of black energy and sucked into Sun Chen's eyes.

In just a few tenths of a second, everyone in the carriage disappeared and it became empty again.

"call!"

Sun Chen closed his eyes with satisfaction.

The next moment, Sun Chen's body stirred slightly, like the vibration of his heart. Sun Chen secretly ran the formula, and it didn't take long for him to regain his composure.

Sun Chen opened his eyes again. His eyes had returned to normal, but they still looked so arrogant.

"The sun gave me a pair of bright eyes, but I use them to look for lonely souls and ghosts!"

Imitating the lyrics of a classic old song, Sun Chen sighed.

The reason why Sun Chen could see these lonely ghosts was not because he was born with them, but because of a stupid accident.

During the summer vacation of the year he graduated from junior high school, Sun Chen was too bored at home and challenged the sun to stare at him.

At noon, when the sun was at its most dazzling, Sun Chen didn't do any protection. He stared directly at the noon sun with his eyes wide open.

That time, he stared at the sun for a full minute.

A minute later, his eyes went black. To be precise, he went blind.

At that time, Sun Bao and Lin Jie were anxious and jumped up and down, and immediately sent Sun Chen to the hospital for treatment.

In the hospital, the attending doctor bluntly said that there was nothing he could do and concluded that Sun Chen's eyes were damaged and it would be difficult to recover.

However, just when the couple thought that Sun Chen would be blind for the rest of his life, Sun Chen's eyes recovered inexplicably.

Moreover, after his eyes recovered, Sun Chen could see some things that ordinary people could not see, such as lonely ghosts, human souls, and flaws in people.

More importantly, Sun Chen's eyes can swallow the ghosts and convert the energy contained in the ghosts into his own energy.

Because of this, when Sun Chen heard about the supernatural incident on the last bus of No. 13, he felt excited. He even took the bus himself to "experience" the feeling of something supernatural happening to him.

In fact, Sun Chen came here to get some food.
